Answer: 400 million tons

Step-by-step explanation:

100 millions is 1/4 of 400 million

Rosario · Answer 2

400,000,000 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

You could reword this sentence to ask the question, "100,000,000 is 25% of how much?"

The word "is" means equals, the percent will be. 25 in decimal form, the word "of" means to multiply, and "how much" is x, our unknown. In equation form, then, this looks like

100,000,000 =.25 * x

We will divide both sides by. 25 to get that

x = 400,000,000

That's how much grain was grown in 2008
